-<p>We are a team of 8 students from Chalmers University of Technology who   will represent Gothenburg, SWEDEN in this year’s IGEM competition. IGEM   stands for International Genetically Engineered Machines and is a   competition based upon interdisciplinary collaboration of students on a   Synthetic Biology project. The competition is held in MIT, Boston and is   open to all universities from various countries world-wide. There are   180 teams participating this year with about 2000 students in total.  We have started with a promising idea that combines the cutting edge   technologies available in the field of Synthetic Biology. Our research   basically includes the specification and designing of a biological   system followed by the application of Molecular Biology techniques to   build and test it experimentally. The premise of the competition for the   students will be to learn engineering approaches and tools to organize,   model, and assemble complex systems and to immerse themselves in   applied molecular biology.   In the project, we are investigating a biological phenomenon that is a   part of insulin uptake mechanism, widely studied in Diabetic research.   Our endeavor in the study is to visualize a part of the mechanism by   making use of the Nobel Prize winning idea of the Green Fluorescent   Proteins (GFPs). Hopefully, the project will provide us with auspicious   outcomes to further improve the study of the disease.</p>
